Please let's leave off parodying each other's position. Neither the dream nor the engineering can be successful without the other. And given our resources and the scale of the dream, we really have no choice but to take an evolutionary approach to the design, with lots of feedback from the implementors guiding the refinements and simplifications. As long as the process is convergent we'll eventually end up with something useful, provided the dream is sufficiently powerful to keep some of us irrationally committed to the project. Believe me, if we weren't irrationally committed, we'd all have quit long ago, because there's just about as much sniping about Perl 6 as there is hype, and we're just about as tired of the sniping as you are of the hype.
